Jesus Calling for Little Ones By Sarah Young Children's #BookReview

I am happy to be back with another faith-based treasure to read. Jesus Calling for Little Ones is a devotional book specially geared towards young children in the toddler/preschooler age range. As I always say, you can never start off too early when it comes to forming a solid foundation of faith with the Lord.

Book Description:

From bestselling author Sarah Young, Jesus Calling for Little Ones reassures toddlers and preschoolers of Jesus’ never-ending love. Devotions are written as if Jesus is speaking directly to your child’s heart—showing that Jesus knows us from our head to our toes and is always taking care of us. Along with adorable illustrations and a durable format, this is sure to be a treasure for your precious little ones.

I cannot express how precious Jesus Calling for Little Ones is! This couldn't have been a more perfect devotional for my toddler son. The illustrations by Antonia Woodward are adorable with pretty colors and drawings themed to each devotion. Everything is written in a sweet positive light, and simple enough for a young child to understand. Each page starts off with a new theme such as thanking the Lord, believing, or knowing He is everywhere, followed by a small scripture verse from the Bible.

"I care about everything that happens to you. Do not worry. I will take care of you."

Do not worry about anything. But pray and ask God for everything you need. And when you pray, always give thanks. --Philippians 4:6

One of the many other awesome things about Jesus Calling for Little Ones is that it's an actual board book, which means it is extremely durable and can withstand little toddler hands (if you know what I mean).It is also the perfect size in general for those same small hands. This was very smart thinking on the author and publisher's behalf, considering this is a devotional for young children, they really put a lot of thought into the perfect design.

If you have toddlers and/or preschoolers and are looking for a cute devotional book for them, I highly recommend picking this one up. You won't be disappointed!

I just noticed that Jesus Calling for Little Ones is currently on sale for only $3.99 (also on Kindle for $4.99). I am not sure how long this sale price is good for, but that is half off the actual cover price and a really great deal for such an adorable children's book!
